Where we’re going on this episode… we don’t need roads!
Back to the Future isn’t just one of the most beloved films of all time—it’s one of the greatest what if movies ever made. A film that may have written the book on time travel in cinema, it thrives on the ripple effect of choices big and small. What if a famous soft drink had been the real power source of the DeLorean? What if George McFly had proof that his old friend Calvin Klein wasn’t just a dream? And in the real world—what if Michael J. Fox never took the role?
In this special 40th-anniversary episode, Bry the Movie Guy fires up the flux capacitor to explore the alternate timelines behind Back to the Future, from the actors who almost starred to the moments that could have changed the story forever. Plus, we dig into the film’s time travel rules, hidden details, and whether one punch from George was really enough to rewrite history.
So set your time circuits accordingly—because once this podcast hits 88 mph, you’re going to hear some serious sh*t.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
